Healing from Heartbreak and Loss

It's been really tough since losing my grandma last month. I thought I was prepared for it, but honestly, I still find myself breaking down every other day. She was my rock, and her absence feels so heavy. Just last week, I came across an old photo of us at the park—her smiling and laughing. It crushed me all over again. I keep wondering how to fill this void, how to honor her memory without feeling consumed by grief. I'm trying to navigate my own emotional ups and downs while also supporting my family. With my parents in so much pain, it feels like I have to be strong for them, but inside, I feel so lost. I know she wouldn't want me to dwell in sadness, but it's hard. This week, I have a family gathering planned to celebrate her life, but I'm feeling anxious about it. I just want to be present without breaking down. I'd appreciate your prayers for comfort and healing—for me and my family. Still trying to find a way to remember her with love instead of sorrow. I know she would want us to find joy in the memories, but I’m really struggling to see that right now.
